The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I recently watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower again. I love this movie! The movie is based on the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I remember seeing previews for movie and thinking it looked like a good film. When I finally sat down to watch it after the DVD release, I loved it and bought it shortly after. I loved the storyline and the cast in the film. The screenplay was written and directed by the author of the book, Stephen Chbosky, and stars Logan Lerman as Charlie, Emma Watson as Sam, and Ezra Miller as Patrick. I thought it was really cool that the author of the book also wrote the screenplay and directed the movie. The story follows high school student, Charlie who is an introverted freshman and doesn’t have any friends. Seniors, Patrick and Sam, take him in and open a new world to him. Charlie deals with his mental illness and insecurities throughout the movie. This film goes into Charlie’s past, so you get a sense of who he is. There are many different topics in this movie that are very relatable. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I definitely recommend it!
